DELTONA, Fla. -- A student was attacked in a Deltona school and no one was told. Tiffani Harden said a student at Galaxy Middle School slashed her son's arm with a piece of glass and then appeared in class the next day like nothing happened.

Harden pulled her children from the school, convinced their safety is in jeopardy. The district said the incident wasn't serious enough for them to contact police, but it was serious enough for the victim's mother to file her own police report and get her son medical care.

There were no fights happening, no arguments, it was just lunch time at Galaxy Middle School when Aaron Hardin said he noticed cuts on another boy that he was concerned about.

"I walked up to him he had eight or ten cuts on his arm. I said, 'What's wrong with you?' He goes, 'Nothing,' and he pulls out a glass out of his pocket and he cuts me," Aaron said.

It was a small scratch, but it bled. Aaron said the boy had been using the same glass to cut himself.

"I was mad that it could happen and we weren't phoned," Tiffani Harden said.

She said she immediately called the school, where a counselor assured her the school was dealing with it. But when Aaron went back to school the next day, his attacker was sitting in the classroom.

"Not only was my son in jeopardy at the moment, but all the other kids at the school were in jeopardy," Tiffani said.

"Our initial major concern was to make sure that student got the help that he needed," said Nancy Wait, Volusia County Schools.

Wait couldn't comment on exactly how the sixth grade boy was disciplined, but said he has mental issues that include cutting himself. The staff considered Aaron's wound minor and not an attack with a weapon.

"He did go after a fellow student, so why wouldn't this fall under a weapon?" WFTV reporter Jason Allen asked Wait.

"I can tell you, we're not talking about a knife here, we're not talking about anything that had a jagged edge," she said.

The district said it probably dropped the ball by not calling the Hardin's on the incident and the principal has told his staff in the future, if there's any question at all, to make that call.
